Advantages of Cross Platform Mobile app development

Until recently apps were separately created for Android and iOS platforms but with the introduction of cross platform mobile frameworks like PhoneGap, Titanium has made mobile app development an easy task. Cross platform development frameworks helps us to write a code and make it run multiple platforms.

Cross platform frameworks have a lot of pros when it comes to mobile app development. Let’s have a look into it.

Fast Turnaround time: Generally writing separate codes for all platforms is a lengthy and time consuming process, but in cross platform development as we know that a common code is used to optimize for different platforms thus making the turnaround time fast and the app release quicker.

Apps for multiple platforms in single code: We write down some codes and tweak them using cross platform technology and can make them compatible for various platforms. Single set of codes but we get apps that run in different mobile platforms.

Uniformity: As the apps are developed from the same codes, it helps us to maintain uniformity in look and feel of the apps very easily. We can portray our brand image by developing these kinds of uniform apps.

Cost effective: Developing apps that runs in multiple platforms is cost effective than developing apps for individual platforms separately as the amount of codes and turn around time is lesser in cross platform mobile app development.

Greater Reach: As we develop apps for multiple platforms, our apps reach to customers / audience in all those platforms thus gaining us a great reach.

In recent days, the increasing popularity of smart phones has raised the bar for mobile app development to a whole new level. As lots and lots of apps swarm the market daily, the market for mobile app development has increased. Develop your own app that runs in multiple platforms today.
